Search   Raised Garden Beds Share Raised Garden Beds With all this rain hanging around, the need for good drainage in vegie patches is becoming very apparent. One of the best ways to achieve excellent drainage is to grow your vegies in raised garden beds. There are a few different types of raised garden beds to choose from, lets take a look at some of the most popular. Colourbond water tank beds These raised garden beds have became increasingly popular over the past few years. They are probably the easiest and fuss free option as they can be easily moved and installed, great choice for people with limited space. It is important to add some kind of substrate to the bottom of the beds to aid drainage, blue metal, old bricks or tiles are good choices. These raised beds can be purchased from www.tankworks.com.au or www.bluescopewater.com Timber raised garden bed kits  These are a few different types of these on the market, they require a bit more setting up than the tank beds but are still fairly simple. All the timber is cut to size and ready to be assembled. These are a great choice for people who want a more organic and traditional look. Available from http://www.grow-n-eat.com/ or from http://naturalyards.com.au/ Self constructed Timber garden beds The most cost effective method which obviously takes a lot more work. Making your own garden beds is great because you can chose the perfect size and shape to suit your needs. Be mindful of what timber sleepers you use as some are treated with dangerous chemicals. Eco-Wood sleepers from Australian Native Landscapes are treated with a safe substance an are perfect for constructing raised beds for vegies.
